From sky to gutter to straw—where has your drinking water been?

Street art in Cape Town shows a person sipping from a gutter. Graffiti makes us imagine.

Messaging is everything.

Been saying this for years: McDonald's doesn't sell you its list of ingredients—trans fats, salt and sugar-laden as it is—it sells you a 'Happy Meal'. The push for an energy transition desperately needs to learn from that.

Urban gulls = sentinels of pollution & biodiversity indicators.
Barcelona’s case shows how citizen reports + science can guide adaptive strategies.
What’s your city doing to manage urban wildlife?

Dodds St in the City of Melbourne was, until recently, a road.
Now it's a wildflower meadow with shared walking and riding paths on either side.
The ladybirds are loving it.
